12054Viking & Woodland Styled Shoot at The Grand Barn at The Mohicanshttp://www.jenelizabethphoto.com/blog/2018/2/viking-woodland-styled-shoot-at-the-grand-barn-at-the-mohicans
I've been wanting to do a styled shoot for a while, but between one thing and the other, I hadn't gotten around to it yet. So when I heard about one being planned by some other vendors at The Mohicans, just a little over an hour away, I was so excited to be able to take part. I've been so ready for spring, basically since New Years, and it was so fun to get outside, shoot, and meet some other fantastic photographers and vendors in the process.

I had never done a full styled shoot before, and I had never been to The Mohicans, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But we all quickly got into the swing of things with our fantastic models Michelle & Brandon, Samantha & Cody, and LaAnn. The styled shoot was woodland and Viking inspired, and The Mohicans' many cabins and treehouses, right in the middle of the forest, made for the perfect backdrop. I would love to go back there for a weekend trip and/or wedding now- it might be my new favorite venue!

I went into the shoot hoping for a few gorgeous photographs, but I came out with so much more: new ideas, new friends, and above all, a new appreciation for staying true to my own aesthetic style. Because I strive for photojournalistic, natural images- not exactly the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about a styled shoot with models. Michelle & Brandon and Samantha & Cody are real couples though with real chemistry, and by far my favorite images from the day are those in which they are just being themselves, laughing, and loving on each other. They were all so fun and easy to work with, and I found myself continually drawn to the authentic moments they had with each other.

Below are a few favorite images, and many thanks to all of the amazing vendors who made this possible!

Engagement Session in Xenia, Ohiohttp://www.jenelizabethphoto.com/blog/2018/2/emily-colin-equine-engagement-session-in-xenia-ohio
Last weekend I traveled to Xenia, Ohio for Emily and Colin's engagement session. I met Emily and Colin a few years ago when I was photographing Emily's sister Liz's wedding, and I am so excited to capture their day this November! Emily and Colin live in Dayton, but their horse Remi is boarded in Xenia, and as a family member he had to be included in their pictures! Even though we didn't get the snowy afternoon we had been hoping for, Remi was more than satisfied with getting to go outside and snack on some grass and we got a great variety of images.

We spent the session exploring the grounds around Phoenix Boarding Barn. We began in the nearby woods and creek, then headed to the front of the stable where we turned Remi out for some grass and finished with a few more images as dusk arrived. Did Emily not wear the most perfect scarf for a horse-themed engagement session? Below are a few favorite images!

Earlier this week I got together with Abby and Brandon for their engagement portrait session in downtown Cleveland- probably the coldest portrait session I've ever done! Abby and Brandon met in high school and are getting married in October. They both love the theater, so we were sure to incorporate Playhouse Square into some of their images.

Thus, we began with some pictures by the Playhouse Square theaters on Euclid Avenue, then made our way down the street towards East Fourth Street. On the way, we made a quick stop to warm up inside the Union Club, where we grabbed a few images on its gorgeous marble staircase. Back outside, we finished with some images on East Fourth Street as sunset approached.

Despite the cold, Abby and Brandon toughed it out and we got some great shots! Plus, we had East Fourth practically to ourselves- a rare occurrence! Below are a few favorites from our winter afternoon together.

Cleveland, and the whole country for that matter, has been hit by a cold spell over the holidays this year, and it was frigid for the R Family's portrait session last week! When Katy reached out to me about gifting her mother a family portrait session for Christmas, we knew it was likely to be cold, so we decided on the Cleveland Museum of Art so that we would have both indoor and outdoor options. It was a good choice, as it was well below freezing outside!

We spent about half the time indoors in the museum's atrium and then headed outside to brave the cold for some sunset images next to Wade Oval. The atrium was decked out for the holidays with a giant Christmas tree, and outside it was crisp and snowy for the early winter golden hour. Below are a few favorite images from our afternoon downtown. Happy holidays!

It is hard to believe that 2017 is coming to an end. It has been a fantastic year for Jennifer Elizabeth Photography and it is so fun to look back through the weddings, portraits, mitzvahs, and travel we have photographed. This was a record year: we photographed 23 portrait sessions, two bar mitzvahs, 15 weddings, and took trips to Spain, New Orleans, and Tanzania. We have lots more coming up in 2018, but for now, check out a few favorites from this past year below.

Last Sunday we headed down to Columbus in order to see the Chinese Lantern Festival (also for the L Family's portrait session and to grab dinner). This is the festival's second year in Columbus, and after seeing everybody's pictures on social media last year, I had been dying to go! The festival definitely lived up to the hype- it was like a more cultural version of Wildlights, with beautiful Chinese lanterns and light sculptures everywhere throughout the Ohio State Fairgrounds. The artwork, paired with the supermoon, made for a breathtaking lit-up night.

This has been a busy season, between weddings, mitzvahs, and portrait sessions, and though I love it all, it was so much fun to take a break, shoot for myself, and just have fun capturing all there was to see around the festival as we wandered around. Below are a few favorite images!

Last weekend I had been planning to go to Columbus for the Chinese Lantern Festival (pictures from that coming soon!), so when the L Family asked if we could schedule a portrait session at their home in nearby Granville for early December, it was easy to set up the two for the same day. This is the fourth year in a row that I've done family portraits for Stefanie, Chris, Wyatt, and Abby, and it is so fun to catch up with them each time and see Abby and Wyatt grow.

We started with some Christmas-themed portraits in the living room, then went upstairs for a few more images. The L Family's cat, Han Solo, even joined us for a few pictures! After that, we headed outside where we had some pretty afternoon light for a few last shots in the backyard. We had a gorgeous, warm day, and it was hard to believe we were in December!

A few days after Thanksgiving I met up with the R Family for their holiday portrait session in the Brecksville Reservation. The R Family had come together from all over the country to celebrate the holidays together: Colleen, J.R., Vivian, and 6-week-old Lillian live in Chicago; Bryan, Mandy, Jack, and Ben live in Charlotte, and Mandy and J.R.'s parents Dick and Jacquie live here in Ohio. With everyone together, it was the perfect time to do portraits.

We chose Station Road Bridge, next to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad's Brecksville Station, for our backdrop, and we had about the best weather that could be hoped for the last weekend in November! Everyone was such a pleasure to work with, and the kids (especially Jack!) just loved having their pictures taken. The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad passed by us a few times, already decked out in Christmas decorations.

Below are a few favorite images from our afternoon in Brecksville!

While I was in Columbus last weekend, I got together with my friends Becky and Andrew, their daughter Haley, Andrew's brother Bill, his wife Lauren, and their two children Jake and Josh for their portrait session on The Ohio State University Campus. The morning was a bit chilly, but it warmed up quickly as the sun came out. The last time I photographed Haley, she was just a few days old, and now she is nearly two and a half! She, Jake, and and Josh had so much fun exploring campus and playing in fall leaves.

We began with a few shots in front of Ohio Stadium, then we drove over to the South Oval to catch some fall color. Becky and Andrew met in the OSU Marching Band and both families are big Ohio State fans, so campus was the perfect location to do fall portraits. Scroll down for a few favorite images!

Last weekend I met up with the G Family for their fall portrait session at Glen Echo Park. I taught with Melissa for many years in Worthington, and it was great to catch up with her, her husband Jim, and their two sons Curran and Ryan. Curran and Ryan have both gotten so tall since I last saw them- they are in 12th and 11th grade, respectively, and Curran just signed to play golf for Colgate University next year!

Despite a morning chill, Glen Echo was full of gorgeous fall color. Plus, we had the place practically to ourselves! We started near the bridge and staircase near the park entrance on Cliffside Drive, then explored the trails and riverbed nearby. We were sure to include a few theater headshots for Ryan as well. Below are a few favorite images from our time in the park!

I always enjoy making trips to Columbus, and Ben's bar mitzvah in early November was the perfect reason to do so! Ben celebrated his bar mitzvah at Congregation Beth Tikvah in Worthington, and despite it being a chilly November day, his day was full of lively games, dancing, and warm family reunions. Ben is a big fan and player of soccer, so the sport was ubiquitous in the decor, favors, and even the cake! Planning to Party did a fantastic job of decorating and coordinating the day.

We began in the morning with family portraits in the sanctuary of Congregation Beth Tikvah before Ben's service began. The service was followed by a delicious luncheon and reception led by DJ Matt Ryan. Nearly all the guests were on the dance floor for Hava Nagila, and Ben's little brother Daniel was the life of the party with some incredible dance moves!

Allie and Brian had perfect fall weather for their late September wedding, and it was such a pleasure to capture their day at Saint Cosmas and Damian Parish in Twinsburg and the Bertram Inn & Conference Center in Aurora. The Bertram is where I attended senior prom (I feel old!) so it was especially fun to return there and have the chance to photograph it for such a gorgeous event. With help from Allie's mother Carol, every detail throughout the day was carefully thought of and planned for. Allie and Brian's young daughter Lauren even participated as their flower girl!

I began the day at Carol's house as Allie got dressed, and my assistant Nicole began with Brian as he got ready at his home. We both then headed to the church where Allie and Brian wed in a sweet, heartfelt ceremony. (At one point, Lauren even started running around the church, she was so excited!) After the ceremony, we made a quick stop at nearby Idlewood Park for some shots on its bridge before heading to Squaw Rock (now officially Henry Church Rock) in the South Chagrin Reservation for the rest of the portraits. Afterward, we headed to the reception. Everything was set up beautifully at the Bertram, and the evening was full of precious moments like Allie and her grandfather's dance and heartfelt toasts. We ended the evening with a few last night shots just outside the reception.

Below are a few favorite images from Allie and Brian's day. Congratulations!

It was a beautiful afternoon and the fall color was in its prime! I wish all of November were like this! This was my third year doing portraits with the M Family, and it has been so fun to watch Luke, Lexi, and Matthew grow. Matthew is all about running and exploring now that he is almost two, and he had me racing to keep up!

Last weekend I got together with Laura and Matt for their engagement session at David Fortier Park in Olmsted Falls. I met Laura and Matt through my former clients Heather and Luke (Laura was one of Heather's bridesmaids) so I was so excited when they asked me to photograph their upcoming wedding next spring! Laura and Matt are so fun and laid-back, and they even brought their pups Amos and Mocha for a few pictures!

We began the evening at the covered bridge at the entrance to the park, then we made our way down to the stone bridge and forest. The fall color was gorgeous, and Amos and Mocha were so excited to be there that they could barely sit still! Below are a few favorites from Laura and Matt's session. I can't wait until their May wedding!

Surprise proposals are so much fun to photograph! Last Saturday Emily and Colin got engaged at the Lodge at Geneva-on-the-Lake, and it was one of my favorite events all season! (Seriously- as I was editing I just kept smiling looking at their images!)

Colin reached out to me about capturing the proposal, which he had planned as the end of a romantic day full of wine tasting and touring in Geneva, and we planned out the details throughout the week ahead of time. The Lodge at Geneva-on-the-Lake is a special spot for Emily and Colin, as it was the site of one of their first trips together as a couple, and it made the perfect backdrop for Colin's proposal. Since there is a large open space in front of its iconic gazebo (not such an easy spot to hide in a bush!), I brought my assistant Sapna to pose as a senior I was photographing to avoid Emily getting suspicious of my loads of camera equipment. Colin told Emily that he wanted to get a selfie in front of the gazebo as I waited with Sapna nearby. The plan worked (mostly- Emily was already a bit suspicious by the time they got to the lodge!) and she said yes!

After the big moment, we explored the area around the lodge for a few portraits, which were full of excitement and the emotion of being newly engaged. Colin's family met up with us at the end of the night and everyone went out for a celebratory dinner together after dusk. Congratulations Emily and Colin on their engagement!

Megan and Rich tied the knot on the perfect fall day in October- we could not have asked for better weather! Megan and Rich are both so fun and laid-back, and it was such a pleasure to capture their day. Their wedding was full of Irish touches, from vivid emerald green bridesmaid dresses, their very own bagpiper, a stop at the Irish Famine Memorial in the Flats, and lots more. There was also so much variety in culture and scenery: the classic Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Willoughby, the urban backdrops of downtown, and the rolling hills and meticulous catering at Pine Ridge Country Club.

I began the day at the Willoughby Courtyard Marriott, where Megan and Rich were finishing up getting ready. We then headed down the street to Immaculate Conception, where Megan and Rich took a quick moment to hold hands around the church doors (without peaking!) before their ceremony. At the end of the ceremony, Megan and Rich's very own bagpiper escorted them out of the church! I then jumped in the limo with Megan and Rich's bridal party to go downtown for portraits in the Flats. We made stops at the Cleveland sign at Abbey Road, Shooters, Heritage Park, and the Irish Famine Memorial.

After portraits, we drove back to Willoughby for Megan and Rich's reception at Pine Ridge Country Club. The night was full of heartfelt toasts, delicious cupcakes, and, of course, dancing! Megan and Rich even incorporated their new in-laws into the father-daughter and mother-son dances.

Below are a few favorite images from the day. Congratulations to Megan and Rich!

Last week I got together with the V Family in Olmsted Falls for their fall portrait session at David Fortier Park. Kim is a photographer herself, and this was the third portrait session I've done with her and her husband Anthony! We were joined by Kim's brother Greg, his wife Nicole, their daughter Aubrey, Kim and Greg's parents Bonnie and Mike, and of course Kim and Anthony's sweet toddler Logan, who has grown so much since I last saw him!

We began at the covered bridge near the entrance to the park, then explored the woods and stone bridge nearby. It was a quiet Thursday night, and we had the place practically to ourselves! Logan was such a great big cousin to Aubrey as well throughout the evening- he gave her lots of kisses and even tried to comfort her when she began to cry.

In late September, I traveled to Cincinnati to photograph my friends Melissa and Charles' wedding at the Cincinnati Marriott at Rivercenter (technically in Kentucky, but still greater Cinci!). I have known Melissa and her family for over two decades, and she is a photographer herself, so it was an extra pleasure and honor to be there to capture the day!

When Melissa and Charles planned their fall wedding, I doubt they were expecting a hot, sunny day, but it ended up that way: it was over 90˚! Luckily, their hotel was cool and they were great sports outside in the heat. I began the day as Melissa, her mother Sallie, and her bridesmaids got ready at the hotel. Melissa and Charles then had their first look just outside, on the banks of the Ohio River. We did portraits next to the river with the bridal party shortly thereafter, and explored the historical murals near the Cincinnati-Covington bridge. After that, we retreated from the heat for Melissa and Charles' ceremony in the hotel's gazebo.

After the ceremony and family portraits, Melissa and Charles enjoyed a cocktail hour and beautiful reception overlooking the Ohio River and Cincinnati skyline as the sun set. The night was full of fun and dancing, and I stayed a bit late to enjoy the party myself with friends and family.

Below are some favorite images from the day. Congratulations to Melissa and Charles!

On the way back from Cincinnati in late September, I stopped in Columbus for an evening portrait session with the D Family. Christina, Keith, Abby, and Noah have been with me since the beginning of my business, and this was our fifth year in a row doing fall portraits together! It is always so fun to see Abby and Noah grow and to catch up with Christina and Keith on all that's happening in Worthington.

This year, we went to Schiller Park, in the heart of German Village. Despite the heat (it was over 90˚- definitely not what we had planned for when scheduling September 24th!), everyone was a great sport while exploring the park. We began at the outdoor amphitheater, then made our way through the gardens to the bridge and duck pond.

Below are a few favorite images from my evening with this amazing family!

Last weekend I made a stop in Columbus for Summer's senior portrait session at Glen Echo Park. I did an engagement session last fall for Summer's parents Kim and Aj last fall (see it here), so I was so excited to get together again and catch up now that they are officially married! Since they wanted family pictures as well, we opted to do a combined senior and family portrait session.

Glen Echo is one of my favorite parks in Columbus, and it is virtually unheard of (and I sort of hope it stays that way- we often have the place to ourselves for shoots). Even though it was over 90˚ (not exactly what Kim, Aj, Summer, and Ronnie signed up for when booking a late September date!), they toughed it out and we got lots of great shots exploring the park.

I hope that Summer has a wonderful senior year at Westland High School, and that Kim, Aj, and Ronnie have a great year as well!
